Show your guns that make the purists cry

We need an "ow, my eyes hurt" emoji! ?

 
Don't think I've got any unless a plastic 2 tone or shitty rattlecan counts?

 
Back on Arnies there were a few people who were legitimately militant about AK purity so I got a King Arms 74 and AR-15 adapters for both the front and rear ends specifically to offend them.  There were a couple of iterations of this but this one is the most heinous.





Was also loaned this long ago by a shop to publicise; WE GBB AK in an SRU 3D printed bullpup kit.




 
Yeah CETME was first, some Germans went to France after the war, then Spain, worked on a new gun based on the StG45.  Eventually (after lots of iterations) the Spanish adopted the CETME in 762 NATO in the late 50s and the Germans got a few along the way.  Those guns became the basis for the G3.  That's the super compacted version.

If you look at the metal base/sockets on stock of the Stg44, 45, CETME and G3, the single pin at the bottom that holds them and the rough shape of TMH/lower receiver on each you can follow the lineage along pretty nicely.

I would love me a Spanish Cetme. 

Here's one in the Estonian Weapons museum I visited in March (Tallinn)
